So there is no need for a companion script such as Paul suggests.
HOWEVER, I did forget! I do have a simple companion script that is required for my " !MySaveAttachments" script, which can be called anything and placed wherever you like. I put it into a subfolder of Entourage Script Menu Items called "zPrefs" (the z makes it sort to the bottom), and I call it "SavedFolderList". It contains the list of predefined folders you can set up and modify with the main script. If you download the first script you need to also download the second one: <http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/.cv/allen_a_watson/Public/Scripts/En tourage%20v%20X/SavedFolderList.scpt-binhex.hqx> > I'm waiting until a later version of Entourage allows the scripting of links > to files, and then I'll do a revision.

BTW, companion scripts to the above: !Open File of Selected Spec -- when you selected the filepath info in the message and run this script, it will open the actual file in its parent application. !Open Folder of Selected Spec -- reveals the file in Finder, opening its enclosing folder in a new Finder window. Both can be found on my .mac scripts Entourage v X folder: <http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/5/wo/QnYQWac6a1KyRyJW.1/ 2.2.1.2.19.31.97.2.35.0.1.1.1?user=allen_a_watson&fpath=Scripts%3AEntourage% 20v%20X&templatefn=FileSharing3.html> That folder contains all my scripts in one list. Some are not ready for prime time, only a few are documented, use at your own risk.
